ZettaBlock, a unified platform for open and
secure AI development, announced the launch of Kite
AI, the decentralized blockchain foundation layer pioneering
equitable, democratized, and secure access to essential AI Assets-
data, models, and agents. Built on ZettaBlock’s proven
infrastructure, Kite AI serves as the foundational layer of a
decentralized AI economy, enabling coordination of a global network
of contributors—from developers to enterprises—to build, share, and
be fairly rewarded for high-quality AI asset contributions while
maintaining ownership, privacy, and control.
Today, vast amounts of AI data remain siloed creating a
bottleneck in the growth of the AI ecosystem. This is because users
are hesitant to share data with AI models without proper
attribution, fair recognition, or the assurance that sensitive and
proprietary information won’t be misused. Kite AI addresses this by
enabling secure, transparent data sharing and model development
with an innovative attribution mechanism while safeguarding
proprietary information.
Most decentralized AI projects focus narrowly on providing
decentralized compute solutions, but that problem is short-lived
with more and more GPU becoming available everyday via both
centralized and decentralized entities. Kite AI tackles a larger,
systemic challenge impacting the growth of the entire AI economy:
unlocking essential AI data, models, and agents for widespread,
fair use in a democratized way. This approach empowers businesses
and developers with full control over AI assets usage, ensuring
fair rewards based on the assets’ impact and utilization. Kite AI
democratizes AI development, enabling participation from entities
of all sizes, leveling a playing field that was once dominated by a
few.
“Our vision with Kite AI is to unlock AI’s full
potential by dismantling existing barriers and establishing a fair,
open ecosystem for collaboration,” said Chi Zhang, Co-founder of
ZettaBlock. “By providing a foundation for open and democratized
access to high-quality AI data, models, and agents, Kite AI
empowers seamless participation and innovation without centralized
restrictions, data scarcity, or privacy concerns. We are enabling
organizations and developers of all sizes to contribute to and
benefit from AI advancements, with guaranteed fair rewards and
transparency across the ecosystem.”
Powered by ZettaBlock’s decentralized infrastructure, the Kite
AI foundation layer enables advanced attribution for data and
models, privacy-preserving development, and secure access to all AI
assets to foster a fair and collaborative AI ecosystem. With its
Decentralized Data Access Engine, Kite AI allows contributors to
securely share and be fairly incentivized for data, while Smart
Data Indexing seamlessly organizes multi-modal data for diverse AI
applications. Additionally, Kite AI enables a decentralized,
lightweight, and privacy-focused AI experience through its virtual
database, allowing data to be stored and processed locally,
empowering models for personalized AI experiences.
“Kite AI’s approach to decentralized, secure AI
infrastructure is paving the way for a more equitable and
collaborative AI landscape,” said Professor Haiyan Huang, Professor
and Chair, Dept. of Statistics, UC Berkeley. “By providing
transparent access and fair attribution for data and model
contributions, Kite AI empowers researchers, developers, and
businesses alike. This type of innovation is critical for the
sustainable and inclusive growth of AI, where everyone can
participate in and benefit from the AI economy.”
At DevCon, ZettaBlock is showcasing "Save the Llama," where
participants contribute data to train a live language model,
demonstrating Kite AI's data attribution and reward system in
action. For more information about Kite AI, click here.
